AUSTROMAG—high field set up and experiments

Austromag offers high magnetic fields for various applications in solid state physics. The quasistatic high field facility gets the power (10 MWs) from the line of the city, reaching 40T in a long pulse (up to 1s). Additionally exist various short pulse facilities (pulse duration between 10 and 100 ms) which are energized by a condensor battery. New types of high field magnets (foil coil) were developed. Measurements are possible between 4.2 K and 800 K. The main experiments are: magnetization, magnetoresistence, anisotropy and magnetostriction. New measuring techniques were developed such as pressure dependence of anisotropy and magneto-electric coefficient.
